Got a pair of assos UNOs and used them on the turbo today for the first time but I'm having problems with the position of the chamois - seems that I am off the front of the thickest section (which then digs into my you know what's and causes numbness) when I get in anything more aggressive than riding on the tops and that it generally sits too far up my backside.

I'm 6ft 2 and weigh 72kg so went for size L as the actual bibs etc seemed to fit best in this size.

Anyone else had this problem? Feels like the chunky bit of chamois should be an inch or so further forward. Seems odd given that assos is aimed at racers etc?

    You need to ask 'One man and his bike' about this.

    I had the opposite today. Went for a quick 20 miles to try out my new bibshorts and felt uncomfortable after about 5. Stopped found the pad had slipped forward and not covering sit bones. Rejigged the way I was wearing the shorts and found it was down to me not realising the new shorts were shorter in the leg. When I originally put them on I put the gripper down at the length of my old shorts, this 'stretch' had the effect of pulling the pad out of place.

    Come on, admit it, you had them on back to front didn't you !? :roll: :wink:

    I wouldn't mind admitting it and taking some flak off you lot, if I had. If you dish it out, you've got to be prepared to take it back! :lol:
